( .coumv Pmumcuma Rec-2n} . l’l'LlQUE seems to be a. favorite method of ornnmcnting all sorts of pretty things, The small duck and the chickens are just the thing for pockets for the wee kiddie. As pockets of this kind are used in pairs, it will be necessary to make a separate tracin: and then re— verse it for the opposite pocket. The small bunny with the carrot may be used on the front of a. frock or apron, on the yoke or near the bot- tom or the shirt. The large duck is suitable for applique on a smock or dress for a. girl 8 or 10 years of age. The two flower patterns are for Scar-ts or table covers and may be used as one-half of a pattern or as a single rc‘ peaL It applique doesn’t interest the nee- dleworkor. transfer the designs with carbon paper and work the various DESIGNS IN APPLIQUE lines and sections in outline, satin stitch and French knots. How to (so the I’ntterns. Applique should be worked in one or two colors, that is. the pattern should be composed of one or more colored materials, buttouholc‘stltched to a background of another color. It you ore going to use the big dock on an apron transfer the duck to yet- low material, with carbon paper, trac- ing every line. Then use the same pattern and trace only the outline or edge at the duck on the apron. Fasten the first duck, the yellow one. in your embroidery frame and work the eye and feathers in satin and out- line stitch. Embroidery every line ex— cept the ones forming edge. Cut the material about an eighth of an inch or more beyond the edgehturn it under and haste the yellow duck on the one that has been traced on the apron. Buttonhole stitch around the alge, making the stitches small and close together. In the rabbit design only the rabbit in appliquod, and it should be stitched in place before the background of grass is embroidered. The grass should be worked in outline and single stitch and the carrot in satin stitch. In the chicken design the chicken and the eggshells are of different 001— ~ ore, and it this seems difficult use only one color—yellow—for the chicken. and work the shells in outline stitch.

The immediate answer of the safe. the cane and the sane is that. natural- -ly, they are to see with. This answer 19 doubtless excited by the tale of Lit- tle Red Riding Hood. When the little girl asked, "Why are your eyes so large. Grandmamma " the wolf an— ”cred. "The better to see you with, my dear." But like many of the thoughts and was of youth, this conception 0: eyes In wrong. It is the mediocre eye that is used to see with; to achieve any renl'distlnc- tion eyes are to be looked at and through—from the outside in, not the inside out. And it is the eyes of the Spanish lady that head the list or eyes that are to be looked at. I do not contest the fact that the gray and blue lrish eye has been‘re- nowned, that the French, Italian and Scandinavian eye has been praised, that the American eye has not been well recommended. All these eyes are beautiful—there is no doubt of it—but o-o......-. - ' -o- .ou- ou o i. Q i“ they lock that one essential that makes of Spain "not a peninsula but an eye- lam ." _ ' The Spanish eye possesses the lure. the charm. the expression, the color. the warmth. the tenderness, of all aforementioned eyes and heralded-and here’s the kicker—it has the divine spark. ‘ When I say spark I mean that germ of fire that is so intimately associated with the knife under the fifth rib. or the stiletto under the stocking. According to the reports of Ameri‘ can travelers, Spain is the land where eyes predominate. The body and face serve but as an accessory for, or a background to—the eye. The reader will doubtless wonder why people who have eyes that pene- trate to the very soul: at their epoch. tors and are of such a superior quality should not be able to observe inter- national relations with an unusual perspicnity and cut more 01’ a dash at the variouscont'erencea anthers, or late. weenie so fashionable among front diplomatic circlu.
